The B+W 40.5mm T-PRO Clear Filter is a simple, clear filter with a 1x filter factor and is designed to provide general protection for your lens. This optically clear filter does not affect overall image quality while helping to keep dust, scratches, moisture, and other elements from damaging your lens. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections while providing over 99.8% light transmission, each glass surface includes multiple layers of anti-reflection coating. This Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) also offers greater protection to the filter substrate and helps it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. The Nano coating associated with this filter provides an additional eighth layer over the MRC, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

B+W filters are constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. This filter features a thin, titanium-colored brass filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and preventing jamming.

Q: 1. I am going to buy this NC filter to protect my Nikon 18-140mm lens. My question is can I use this filter and the lens cap at same time?

A: As the Nikon 67mm NC (Clear) Glass Filter has 67mm front filter threads, yes, you may attach the 67mm lens cap onto the front of the filter.

Q: 2. Is this just a rebranding of the Olympus PRF-ZD72 (same glass same coating)?

A: The OM SYSTEM PRF-ZD72 Pro Clear Protection Filter (72mm) is the same as the Olympus 72mm PRF-ZD72 PRO ZERO Protection Filter.

Q: 3. Why not use a snug fitting $5 rubber lens band over the slot when a filter is not desired instead of using this $130 piece of clear glass?

A: The glass filter would act as a barrier between the sensor and the lens mount to prevent any dust/debris from entering the camera.

Q: 4. Will the lens hood still fit proper with the clear filter attached to the lens?

A: Yes, with the Nikon Neutral Clear Filter (72mm) attached to the lens, the lens hood will still fit properly.

Q: 5. Does this come with a case or pouch for the filter? The ND RF/EF adapter does not have anywhere to place the filter when it's out.

A: It does come with a plastic case than it can be stored in, if you want more protection, could always get a mini hard case for these as well.

Q: 6. How is this filter different than a UV filter?

A: UV filters will filter out UV light that exists outdoors but are not visible to the human eye (but that can end up affecting your images). This Nikon 77mm Clear filter is clear, meaning just a clear piece of glass to protect the lens.

Q: 7. Is this the best filter for Nikon d5500 50mm lens?

Q: 8. Can this Nikon 112mm filter be screwed directly on to the front of Z711, 14-24 F2.8 lens without using the lens hood?

A: Unfortunately you need to use the included hood to allow this lens to have screw threads for a filter. However, as stated, it is included in the box with the lens when you purchase it so you do not need any additional parts to allow filters to work.

Q: 9. Hi. Is it the right filter for the "AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G" lens?

Q: 10. Can you screw a 58mm filter lens into/over the Nikon 52mm clear NC glass filter, or, must it be removed first? I have two other filters (UV and Circular Polarizing Filters) that have a 52mm screw in (for the 18X55mm lens) that step up to 58mm for adding other filters, etc.

A: The Nikon 52mm Clear NC Glass Filter has 52mm front threads. To attach a 58mm filter to that you will need step up ring, 52-58mm like this one,Sensei 52-58mm Step-Up RingB&H # SESUR5258 Mfr # SUR-5258a href= http://bhpho.to/1wGLxul target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1wGLxul/a
